项目摘要

This award provides funding for a 3 year standard award to support a Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering Site program at Georgia Institute of Technology (GA Tech) entitled, "RET Site: National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN)", under the direction of Dr. Nancy Healy. This Research Experiences for Teachers (RET) in Engineering Site is a renewal of a successful RET Site program hosted by the National Nanotechnology Infrastructure Network (NNIN) with the lead at Georgia Institute of Technology and partners at Harvard University, Howard University, Pennsylvania State University, and the University of California Santa Barbara. This site will provide a total of 45 in-service, grades 6-12 science teachers from local school districts (15 per year for 3 years) an opportunity to engage in high-quality, hands-on research in state-of-the-art nanotechnology facilities at NNIN sites for 6 weeks during the summer with 2 weeks of follow-up activities throughout the year. The objectives of the program are to assist science teachers in understanding and communicating the importance of using inquiry-based methods to solve problems by doing research in nanotechnology; establish a long-term mentorship support group of teachers who will become advocates for STEM and nanotechnology education and careers; nurture a mentorship community between professors, graduate student mentors, and science teachers in high-need school districts; and build a library of classroom activities for the classroom.

该奖项为3年标准奖提供了资金，以支持佐治亚理工学院（GA Tech）的教师（RET）的研究经验，题为“ RET网站：国家纳米技术基础结构网络（NNIN）”，在Nancy Hey博士的指导下。这项针对工程网站的教师（RET）的研究经验是由国家纳米技术基础设施网络（NNIN）主持的成功的RET网站计划，并在乔治亚技术学院和合作伙伴的主席，宾夕法尼亚州霍华德大学，宾夕法尼亚州立大学，加利福尼亚大学圣巴巴拉大学。该站点将共同提供45个在职人员，来自当地学区的6 - 至6-2年级科学老师（每年15年，持续3年），有机会在NNIN网站的最先进的纳米技术设施中从事高质量的，动手研究，在夏季，在夏季进行了6周的6周，全年进行了2周的随访活动。该计划的目标是帮助科学教师理解和传达使用基于询问的方法来解决纳米技术研究问题的重要性；建立一个长期的指导支持小组，他们将成为STEM和纳米技术教育和职业的拥护者；在高需求学区的教授，研究生导师和科学老师之间培养指导社区；并为教室建立课堂活动库。
